Harvard Milk Days

Harvard Milk Days started on June 18, 1942 as a single day tribute to our dairy industry and has evolved into a multi-day event making it one of the longest running annual festivals in Illinois.

Crowning of the Milk Day Queen, Prince and Princess kicks of the festivities. The fun continues throughout the month with the popular Bed Race, Big Wheel Race, and Youth Parade. The celebration culminates the weekend of June 2nd with four days of activities and entertainment for all ages including: the Milk Day parade, carnival rides, games, food, fireworks, cattle, tractor, and classic car show.
